Hey do y’all know if it’s safe if I strip a small dresser that has an oak wood finish and then repaint it white?

If I did I would do it in my garage or driveway with the doors open and I would take frequent breaks.

I’ve heard mixed responses. Some say as long as you take breaks, don’t have skin contact, and don’t eat It (duh) then it’ll be fine. I just wasn’t sure if any of y’all had done this before and everything turned out ok.

Thanks
